| Abstract |
This article draws attention to the fact that Rembrandt throughout his career surprisingly often included Africans in his drawings, etchings and paintings. It investigates in what context Rembrandt employed this motif, what the iconographic and artistic significance was, what his sources were and how the motif was perceived by Rembrandts contemporaries.
